Tom Rathman has a very long history with the San Francisco 49ers, having played the majority of his career with the 49ers — and earning two Super Bowl rings with the franchise in its glory days.
Rathman began his NFL coaching career with the 49ers back in 1997. After stints with the Detroit Lions and Oakland Raiders, Rathman returned to his professional home in his current capacity as running backs coach in 2009.
Rathman’s time as running backs coach has largely been successful — no doubt due to the ageless wonder that is Frank Gore, who remained the 49ers primary running back until the 2015 season.
